Im finishing my basement and I have a bunch of "special" bottles I want to display some how. By special I mean Dark Lord, Westy 12 and a few like that. How do you guys display your empties that are worth keeping?

I have a 100+ collection of craft/micro bottles on shelves in my garage. Garage is also my brewing area, and man cave. Houses my sculpture, and fermentation chamber, a table and chairs for hangin out, and, of course, the usual garage things: lawnmower, bikes, etc.

I saw on another board where someone used spring loaded wall anchors in the bottle with screw eyes attached and hanging from a cable. It wasn't something i'd do at my place but it was pretty creative.

If anyone is interested in this, they're called Toggle Bolts, and that is pretty clever

Not too creative, but shelves or any other available space is easy. . .
Not a lot of variety out here as far as unusual beers go.

I'm getting ready to toss mine.
They've been sitting in boxes in my garage, taking up what little space I have, and no place to display them.
*sigh.. maybe I'll recycle and get the deposit back.

I have two pre-1900 beer bottles somewhere in my kegerator. The rest of the bottles (if I'm not bottling for a comp) go in the recycle bin. I'd rather store full ones.

I've got a ton of bottles down in the brew area/laundry room. My favorite is my Ghettoblaster bottle. I'll never get rid of that one.

Yah I probably have like close to 200 bottles from all different beers and out of that maybe 10-20 are really worth keeping. Im thinking of turning them into lights if thats possible

I have a friend that filled some with a glow in the dark liquid, and mounted a black light on the shelf. Surprisingly, even the brown bottles glowed! I thought it was nifty. Of course these weren't "special" bottles by any means, just the usual college-boy bottles.

Most laundry detergent glows under black light too.
